county, new jersey, the darker blues indicating the heavier snow. so we can still get more accumulation out of this. visibility gives us an idea of how heavy the snow is, a mile in coatesville, fairly significant snow. the visibilities further to the east and the south are pretty high, so it's not so much of a problem now. the snow totals so far, up to eight inches in some of the pocono areas. four inches, allentown three inches. also four inches in sinking springs. that's in western berks county, quakertown, souderton, exton, even malvern had three inches of snow. right now, we are watching the temperatures and they are still above freezing. and sheena parveen has more on what's going to happen to them and the effect. >> that's right, glenn. i think the big question is, now, what can we expect for the rest of tonight. and going into your thanksgiving

day. we'll start with areas north and west of philadelphia here's a look. lehigh valley, you're seeing mostly snow right now. but your temperatures are a little bit above freezing here, this is a wet snowfall. as we go through time, we see snowfalling, temperatures staying above freezing. some areas seeing heavier snow than others, by 7:00, 8:00, a lot of this tapers off. overnight tonight, we could have leftover flurries, temperatures will be staying right around freezing or below freezing in some spots. we could see some slippery areas north and west. that's where we saw the most snowfall. as we go through the i-95 corridor, temperatures above freezing. that's where the rain/snow line has been meandering around all day. we can see more snowfalling in philadelphia, around i-95 here, and that rain/snow line lingering into new jersey, until later on tonight. once this whole storm tries to move out. we can continue to see the change of snow. that's what we expect toward the end of this, and quickly

clearing up as we go through the overnight hours. temperatures above freezing, mostly rain until 6:00. and then on the back end of this whole storm, we could see a brief changeover to snow. we do stay quite a bit above freezing here, we will continue to see some precip falling. now, as far as the highest snowfall totals, of course, the poconos, this is by the time this is all over. we expect 8 to 12 inches total. lehigh valley, 4 to 7. just north and west of philadelphia 3 to 5. closer to 1 to 2 in philadelphia. this is mainly on grassy surfaces. south jersey, delaware, we don't expect much at all, less than an inch. for tonight, as we go through tonight's forecast, we could see a slippery spot, but the rain and snow will be ending, clouds lingering, temperatures just below freezing for your north and west. cloudy and cold, we will be staying on the dryer side. temperatures colder, about the mid to upper 30s. colder than what's considered normal for this time of year, we

will be drying tomorrow. cold, then as we go into the weekend, temperatures will be staying in about the 40s. a little bit of a warmup on sunday in the 50s, even going into next week. i think the thing now to watch out for is the areas that are still expected to change over to snow. still seeing snowfall. we know the roadways are covered in snow. if you have to do any traveling tonight, i would suggest to wait until later. >> that's good advice if you can wait until tomorrow. >> as this storm continues to affect the nbc10 viewing area. stay connected to our first alert updates, you can get them on tv, online and on your mobile device with the free weather app. can you download it from nbc10.com.

some stores plan on opening as early as 10:00 a.m. on thanksgiving day. a holiday storm is still bh whipping through our area. the snow is coming down in our area. as people tried to finish their last minute shopping for thanksgiving in havertown. >> glenn hurricane schwartz is tracking our holiday storm every inch of the way. >> bring us the latest right now? >> renee and jim, this storm continues to strengthen there's a lot of moisture with it, temperature borderline right across i-95. you can see the last few hours, it's trying to move out, it will move out this evening, it's not going to be around tomorrow. and we're cutting it right in half. south and east, it's rain, north and west, it's snow. and a little burst of heavier snow around baltimore, some of that is going to come straight up toward chester, delaware county, and the philadelphia

area, we had a little burst a little while ago. those come through very fast, so we haven't seen a lot of accumulation. look how fast that has come through. that's a one hour time lapse. you get a little burst for a little while, and that's it. we've had up to 8 inches or more in parts of the poconos. east nant memeal, chester count six inches. allentown, four inches, chaddsford 2.5 inches. there's still more to come. the temperatures are above freezing in some cases, just barely, and that has really helped us, not only letting the snow melt as it hit, even on some grassy surfaces, but, of course, it's helped on the roads as well. we're real close to that freezing mark, what's going to happen for the rest of the night? sheena parveen has that? >> that's right, some of us will continue to see snow. others will continue to see

mainly rain, and then possibly a brief change over to snow. depends where you are. we will start north and west where we had the snow, the snowfall has already accumulated here, through many areas. as glenn just showed you, we have eight inches or more through parts of the poconos. temperatures slightly above freezing. feature weather shows you until 7:00 p.m., we'll expect the snow showers around this area, and we could see them lighten up by then. really tapering off as we move closer to the 8:00, 9:00 hour. temperatures still above freezing. it's the overnight hours where we could see slippery conditions. across the i-95 corridor. temperatures a little above freezing. this is where we find the rain/snow line. snow just north and west of the 95 corridor. as we go through the next couple hours, some of the snow will continue to shift into parts of new jersey or at least try to with some mixed precip. and by 7:00 p.m., you'll see that shifting even more into parts of south jersey,

temperatures staying a little bit above freezing, by 9:00, we'll see this tapering off. temperatures still expected to be above freezing. along south jersey and delaware for the next couple hours, rain and we could see that quick change over to snow. only briefly, you see it here, at 7:00 p.m., not lasting long, by 9:00, it's pretty much out of the area. temperatures still staying in about the upper 30s here, so the only areas expected with slippery spots are those who have already seen the snowfalling today, mainly north and west, in the poconos we could see up to a foot in the poconos, through the lehigh valley, 4 to 7 inches, that could extend through montgomery, upper bucks county as well. north and west of philadelphia, 3 to 5 by the time this whole thing is over, some areas in chester county as well, may be seeing close to five inches, around the philadelphia area, i-95 corridor, about 1 to 2 possibly. a lot of it is melting as it hits any paved surfaces. mostly the grassy airs we're watching. closer to the shore, south

jersey, delaware, we don't expect any rain. clouds linger, and north and west, a little below freezing. we could see icy spots tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon, cloudy and cold, temperatures staying in the mid to upper 30s, at least we'll be dry. if you have to do any traveling on thanksgiving day, you look pretty good for that. we stay cold but this time it's going to be sunny. we'll see more sunshine as we goo into the end of the week, and your weekend. by surprised we are in the mid-50s. but i think the main thing to remember for the rest of the evening is the areas that have already been seeing the snow today. not good driving conditions. if you have to travel, either late tonight, but it's better to wait until tomorrow. >> adjust things if you can. >> certainly, yes. >> thanks, sheena. let's take a break from the weather. get ready for some oohs and aahs, an annual holiday tradition in our area, we'll show you what's new. and you can get a front row seat to the action.
